Optimism, however, is associated with a happier and longer life. In their recent study, University of Pittsburgh researchers found that optimistic women outlived dour ones. So, what about those who aren ’t always so cheerful? Are they destined for sickness and failure? Or is it possible to master the principles of positivity the same way we might learn a new hobby or follow a recipe? T he answer from the experts seems to be quite certain. But, the thing about being optimistic is that it takes effort – and that’s a drag.
